Addresses of international factories and search for products now provided online in Productpilot, the new business matching platform
With Productpilot, Messe Frankfurt extends its trade fairs program into the internet and provides detailed information on factories, importers, exporters and producers. Up till now, Messe Frankfurt has been one of the world’s most prominent service providers for the organisation of exhibitions. Now it enlarged its portfolio by an online business matching platform that brings together manufacturers, sellers, suppliers and buyers. The b2b platform is a listing of companies exhibiting at tradeshows organised by Messe Frankfurt. Productpilot’s strength lies in the synchronisation of both worlds, real trade shows and online business matching. Trade visitors from a wide range of industries, for example textile, confectionery, fabrics or consumer electronics, and international import and export companies throughout the world, e.g. from Asia or Europe, can easily contact each other and extend their business opportunities.
